Why We Ride Official Theatrical Poster
Why We Ride is a story about who we are. Individuals with a desire to dream, discover, and explore. Seeking a life outside our daily confinements and sharing those moments together. ItÂ’s a story about the journey, not the destination.

Motorcycles represent the milestones of our lives. From a kid’s dream come true, to a retiree’s return to freedom. From a family riding together on the sand dunes, to hundreds of choppers carving through the canyons — the bond is the same. It’s about the passion of the riders and the soul of their machines.

Your senses will heighten as the world rushes in, your heart will beat to the pulse of the engine, your mind will race and set you free. Once you let a motorcycle into your life, it will change you forever.

    Not since On Any Sunday has a film captured the heart and soul of moto-life
    I just saw the 2nd ever screening of Why We Ride at the 2013 AIMExpo in Orlando, FL. Been riding motorcycles since 1988 and this film captured the varied reasons, emotions and images that have made me a 2-wheel fanatic/addict. The film covers the unique American experience of moto- culture and its history. The interview excerpts, historic images/footage and bespoke footage are edited so well that the stories are riveting. Truly historic figures and events in the evolution of motorcycling are featured and watching it on the big screen with an almost IMAX-grade sound system made you feel as if you were on and in the rides and races.

    I was so glad that I rode my 1199 Panigale to the event, because I wanted to ride so badly after seeing this! If you have even a passing interest in motorcycles, you owe it to yourself to watch this film. Bring a non- believer with you, the film is so strong it just might make them a convert!
